Description

  • Lead, coach, and develop a team of approximately eight engineers.
  • Establish clarity and execution across a complex roadmap with multiple product and engineering stakeholders.
  • Partner with Product to turn ambiguous requirements into engineering scope, sequencing, estimates, and milestones.
  • Balance feature delivery, engine maintenance, framework modernization, documentation, and GA product stability.
  • Guide end-to-end technical design for the engine and its integrations with orchestration, IDEs, adapters, data warehouses, and LakeCompute.

  • Contribute directly to technical design and implementation alongside the team.
  • Coordinate cross-team initiatives with peer engineering leaders.
  • Create an environment that supports engineering ownership, growth, and high-quality work.

Requirements

  • Ability to translate complex or ambiguous product requirements into credible estimates, milestones, and tradeoffs.
  • Demonstrated ability to balance roadmap delivery with reliability, maintainability, technical debt, and product quality.

  • Experience leading a software team through the full development lifecycle, from discovery through operation and iteration.
  • Experience with technically complex products, platform dependencies, or broad integration surfaces.
  • Experience in data transformation, orchestration, query engines, databases, developer tools, compilers, or language tooling; direct dbt experience is helpful but not required.
